sorry I was under the bar doing my own horny with Violet !

Poor Jaden really thought she was getting out of dance duty with rock, paper, scissors. And I wish we knew what Ari and Ruth are up to. I feel like Ruth secretly enables all of Ari’s shenanigans.

It’s crazy to look back at previous pages and realize that I haven’t seen some of these characters in four months

It’s cool to see it translated! It’s a shame I can’t recommend LB to anyone irl, my friend group would definitely not like it 😞

Bullying!!!!! Bullying Jaden!!!!! Leave her alone!!!!

WE’RE SO BACK!! I recently got promoted at my work (Assistant manager now ahhhh) but bc of that ive had a lot of free time on my hands so heres some silly ideas on how every womyn texts and their general phone usage since I’ve been drawing them so much in my downtime lol! Wonderful art as always and ADORED seeing Ruth again!!! (Took a few liberties with the womyn we havent had much time with so far!)
Also i am so sorry for almost 2.5k words. I love these characters so so much

Main cast!

Jaden- Straight to the point/Cut and dry! Friendly wording but prefers to call if available. Girl is NOT reading those texts she is listening to rock music!! Honestly gets anxiety when hearing the text notification due to what happened with Alexis and the current tension with her family. Generally dislikes using her phone for that reason and opts to use a computer if she can. Most of her storage is filled with music and books while her gallery is pretty sparse- mostly filled with pictures of her family and now her adventures with Riley. Muddles has infected her gallery like a lovable parasite. 

Riley- Another one that prefers to talk instead of call! Easier for her to figure out tones that way. This is my cat Riley she has every anxiety disorder known to womynkind. When comfortable she uses emoticons but nothing extreme- little 🙂 or :D! May use silly ones like 0_o or >_> if Ari/Faith shows her how to. Due to her upbringing shes a bit slower to pick up tech like her peers and that fuels a lot of her self conscious but she gets better every day! Very sparse gallery, mostly filled with Muddles and Blaire. Kind of womyn to have a random picture of a fog covered road with no context. A surprising amount of vegan recipes she’s saved to her phone.

Blaire- If she was a teen in 2020 she wouldve been apart of a discord group and would 4yp3 11k3 d15. Or would be the “typing quirk” translator. Uses more silly emotions like .3. ~_~ \(^o^)/ when texting Riley, tones them down when texting the Qt collective in order to not offend someone. Phone using MASTER she IS tech. Probably runs a Spinterest (Pinterest copycat) where she collects outfit ideas and posts ~aesthetic~ pictures. Her gallery is the main reason she has NO space on her phone. Absolutely allergic to deleting pictures. 

Muddles- walks over Rileys phone when shes texting sometimes and Riley posts it like Muddles wrote it and she translated it for her. Running joke between her and Blaire that Muddles is a great philosopher reborn and that she is simply trying to give her knowledge to the world. Muddles just wanted attention and would prefer world domination.

Yonique Group!

Ruth- Does not like using her phone except for necessity. Adept at it due to Ari, Faith and Violet! Mostly uses it for business but will text sometimes. Extremely cut and dry. Will respond like a deadbeat father with a 👍 (thumbs up emoji) to a long drawn out text. Another one who prefers to call over anything! Her lockscreen is the photo of her and Naomi’s wedding while her home screen is the photo taken at the grand opening of Yonique. Has it set to revolving so it cycles through some important pictures to her. Lockscreen never changes so her beloved is one of the first things she sees in the morning. 

Blossom- Pretty skilled at using her phone! Texts are all grammatically correct, down to the punctuation and word usage. Feels like you’re talking to a victorian ghost who possessed a phone honestly. Has her phone on do not disturb most days. Phone is FILLED with pictures of Luca and various other hobbies she enjoys- including pictures of her time at the hospital (And her send off party!)

Violet- Sees her phone as a means to an end, preferring to set it aside to live her life and be there for those she loves and cherishes. Skilled enough to show the others how to use it but sees it as a necessity for communication and that’s about it. So many mobile games though… #1 Candy Crush player. Gallery is filled with Faith, the Yonique staff and Ruth. Does not have alot of pictures of her younger years and prefers to keep it that way. Texts pretty normally, interjecting emojis that she sees fit. Love me a completely normal womyn.

Faith- Too young to have her own phone but knows enough about it to show the others how to use it! Mostly uses Violets phone to play some (age appropriate) games if her 4DS or gamegirl is dead. Once old enough to have her own I think she’d lose the excitement quickly and only use it to draw on, play games, or listen to music. Gained an abomination of Blossom and Ruth’s texting style. The most DRY texts known to womynkind in the writing style of a victorian era poet dying of the common cold. Originally was doing it For The Bit but it stuck and now she doesnt know how to stop. Will reply to someones long drawn out text with “Fascinating 👍”

Shanzey- Hesitant to use it and has no social media. Uses her phone only to make calls and to take pictures that she immediately prints out and deletes. Almost overly cautious but honestly can you blame her?? Mostly saves pictures of tattoo work and food. Random horse here or there for Crystal or some random thing she saw that she thinks the others will enjoy. Refuses to text (to easy to track) and doesnt even name the contacts in her phone. Has memorized everyones numbers and regularly purges her phone to a outward usb drive just in case.

Parniya- House decor!!! She has so many pictures of house decor!! House decor and different architecture haunts her gallery like a ghost of a disgruntled realtor. Like Shanzey she knows how to use her phone pretty decently but is pretty apathetic to it. Texts like Ruth with pretty cut and dry texts but will interject some silly emojis if its someone she knows and trusts. Has Willow (Zillow copycat) on her phone and likes spending her free time criticizing the houses if theyre horrendous prices. 

Ari- Speaks in homestuck just for the silly. Horrendous womyn to text if shes in a goofy mood she’ll answer you with pure numbers and nothing else. Good luck translating galactic! Extremely adept at phone usage and computer usage! Regularly homebrews her tech so she can push it past its brink. Has alot of her own music saved to her phone plus alot of kosher recipes she finds in the wild. Loosely follows kashrut (dietary laws us jewish folk follow) but is weak to dairy + meat so she has a lot of recipes like that saved.

Murphy- Run on sentences! She types the way she thinks- run on sentences and trail of consciousness. Hasn’t really used her phone since breaking things off with her ex and still has some pictures of them together on it. Lingering anxiety and worry when using her phone tbh. Gallery hasn’t been touched in months. Likes calling through! Mostly uses it to plan things with the Ballkickers. Normal Womyn Club.

Hannah- Another one who absolutely jailbreaks the hell out of her phone for shiggles. Has multiple apps she coded herself that exist purely to wake her up since normal alarm apps don’t work anymore. The other half are to keep tabs on her projects, assignments, etc etc. Her gallery mostly consists of diagrams she’s made herself, cheatsheets for remembering coding (like parent child sequencing, how to decrease a use of if than statements etc) and the other half is fancy coffee recipes shes never going to try but keeps saying she will. Texts like a disgruntled grandmother and will absolutely send reaction pictures instead of sentences. Leaves you on read for 15 hours and returns with “sorry i fell asleep ^^;;” and it tracks.

Poppy- Another one who types the way she speaks! Very bubbly and lots of exclamation points to show shes excited or periods/commas to show where she’d stop in a sentence to add oomphf. Doesnt have Blossom or the others (Save for Sardonica) saved in her phone due to her paranoia about being “found out”. Only has Ruth under Boss and that’s about it. Gallery is filled with hair styles, proper hair care, reviews on good brands, her outfits, and Sardonica (away from any identifying features of Yonique) 

Sardonica- She and Poppy are a match made in heaven- both of them type the way they speak! Uses emojis and emoticons more than Poppy though. Loves adding flowers or little emoticon bunnies or hearts at the end of her texts like little doodles youd see at the end of a love letter. Gallery is FILLED with Poppy and her family, on top of things she enjoyed during her day (Flowers, cute dogs she saw, a particularly pretty cloud) and notes for her accounting classes. 

Family!

Josephine- Only uses her phone to call, make and plan appointments. Prefers using the computer. Cut and dry and doesn’t really understand emojis. Sends ones that she likes to Jaden though. Particularly fond of how silly the dog face emoji looks.

Nana does NOT use the phone she has Josephines ex MIL’s number MEMORIZED. Nana is not using a phone not for her sake but for the sake of everyone else (Nana is a threat 2k25)

Meriam- Owns a phone but rarely uses it. Has no identification on it, no pictures, no nothing. Deletes every text between her and her daughters and friends. Shares nothing that can be identified through text. Honestly finds it to be such a hassle but its useful if a friend or one of her daughters needs her so she still carries one around. Uses text to speech mostly.

Crystal- Actually really likes her phone! Uses it to talk if it is absolutely necessary and the other person doesnt know sign language. Also has very little identification on her phone save for the pictures of horses she has. Has an entire folder filled with Secretariat and the linage this horse produced. Really the only one that Meriam and Shanzey text on the regular and Crystal has a very leveled tempo kind of text.

Karissa- LOVESSSSSS her phone!! Kinda womyn to have a million and one charms on her phone of the little characters she likes. 100% jingles when she walks because of it. Mostly just uses it for Toogle (Google copycat) or BrandTube. Stereotypical “future doctors wife” stuff saved to her phone :/. Uses so many shorthands when texting its obnoxious. 

Christine- Really only uses her phone for writing when she cant use her laptop! Heart themed everything with those cutesy little characters (Like hello kitty) on the borders with the writing app she uses. Texts the way she writes- flower-y words with run on proses, but less like grown up Faiths victorian poet dying of the common cold and more like a heartstruck womyn whos feeling affection for the first time in her life would write.

QT Collective!

Marcie- Obnoxious. Im sorry i just do not like her character T-T,, Types in full proper english with punctuation and is so SO obnoxious if you dont. Types fast and gets annoyed if people take their time to text back- fully expects to be replyed too within the hour or shell throw a FITTTTTT. Has a Bumblr (Tumblr) account where she picks fights and tries to strawman people she doesnt agree with, the other half is her reblogging or making posts. Gallery is mostly fandom related stuff, twans stuff or “statistics” pages to #owntheh8trs

Elissa- Rambly! Types and types and types and types and… yeah. So many thoughts, so little time. Elissa strikes me as the kind of womyn who grew up in a household where she was blamed for everything- which leads to her current self flagellation for her perceived slights (Having #wrongthink at a point in her life, getting entrenched into the QT Collective and thinking that itll make people like her since thats how it was in her house) eh idk she is so grossly homophobic but I think she needs a hug and some non gender pandering therapy and some decent friends who arnt apart of a cult. Gallery is filled with talking points, videos of her doing presentations so she can critique herself and perfect it, and videos she needs to edit.

Tiffany- 1) does NOT text womyn that dont have a gender identity. This is canon and I am transferring all of my current period cramps to her because of this. 2) DRY. DRY TEXTER. Drier than the desert kind of dry. Answers in one word responses and doesnt follow with anything so it feels like you’re just talking to yourself. Only time she gives any effort into texting is to the thing that looks like his favorite drink is tap water. She gets the treatment she gives to others. She annoys me so badly im so sorry. On my hands and knees knowing that at least most of the QT Collective will Not change but in my heart I have hope.

Martha- Shes so expressive and it hurts me so so much to imagine her whimsy and flair being answered with ok by Tiffany. It hurts me I swear it. Another womyn who types the way she speaks!! Except very. Sanitized. Terrified of losing her support group so she keeps alot of her thoughts and jokes to herself. Her normal texting is like frolicking through a sunflower field but after she “fixes” it it feels like the scene in the lorax where all the creatures in the forest leaves. Save my girl. Gallery is filled with her and Tiffany, “help” guides for TRAs by TRAs, and little creations she wants to make in her spare time. Also spreadsheets!! To me she used to be President and still is but only in the responsibilities.

Clancy- Short sentences followed with emoticons! Really doesnt text that much. Saves alot of pictures of womyns soccer teams to her phone and follows them religiously. Has been… trying to looking into the TRA stuff the others have (forcibly pushed onto her-) recommended her but gets uncomfortable halfway through and deletes it off her gallery. Another one for the I Love Normal Womyn Team
